Breath-Centered Consciousness: The Way of Equanimitydescribes a method of meditation
based on the premise that meditation isn't something esoteric or
mystical. It's a skill. And like any other skill, it can be
acquired through training.

The training method described in the book is based on a theory that
consciousness is by its nature structured with dual points of focus: the anchor-point
and the attention-point. Those meditation instructions that
teach us to control attention have missed the point – the anchor-point, that
is.

What we pay attention to is not so important to the
maintenance of the meditative state as how we pay attention.
